But right now, the club is blessed in midfield area. With the rise of Pablo Paez 'Gavi' and Nico Gonzalez, and already established players like Pedri and Frenkie De Jong, Barça's midfield looks set for years to come.  Xavi obviously thinks the same. When asked about if the club would accept offers for any of the midfielders, he said, “We need them - they are not for sale at all. Selling them isn’t our idea. What we want is for them to be here and strengthen themselves”. The coach especially mentioned De Jon

They say some matches are made in heaven, as looked the case with Ousmane Dembele and Barcelona when the Frenchman was brought for a whopping amount of money from Borussia Dortmund. But since his arrival at Camp Nou, things have not gone right for the player. Being constantly plagued by injuries, Dembele is yet to find his best version at Barcelona. Although he has shown glimpses of why he was bought for such a massive price, the consistency has never been there.  The arrival of Xavi Hernandez has rejuvenated the hopes of Dembele to finally succeed as a Blaugrana. The coach fully trusts the winger and has even publicly admitted that the Frenchman is an important part of his project.  But with good news comes the bad. Dembele's contract is expiring in the summer of 2022. Barcelona have already started negotiations and presented a renewal offer to the player.

FC Barcelona are hoping to renew central defender Ronald Araujo for five more seasons but it doesn't seem financially easy to do so at the moment as the club have inferred that Araujo wants a pay raise.  The player earns 35,000 euros a week [salarysport] which is not a lot compared to other players of the Barcelona squad but considering Barcelona's financial situation, it will not be easy to find a way out of this. Seeing Araujo's performances on the pitch it is understandable why he asks for a hike in salary.

  FC Barcelona's fragile situation in the wide area is part of concerns for the Spanish giants as they are lacking natural wingers in the squad. With Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembélé still recovering from their injuries. Certain players like Philippe Coutinho and Yusuf Demir are more of interior instead of natural winger. This lack of natural wingers has led to Barcelona using Gavi and even Dest to play as a winger. With Xavi insisting on using natural wingers in his tactics, FC Barcelona will surely be looking to sign a winger in the upcoming January transfer window. According to the Spanish outlet, Mundo Deportivo, Manchester United's Jesse Lingard is an option for Barca looking forward to the January transfer window as his contract with Man United has only 7 months remaining. Lingard has already rejected a contract offer from Manchester United over concerns he may not get enough opportunities to keep his place in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qa

Zakaria will be out of contract in June 2022 and can start talking to other clubs from January. If he doesn't renew, the winter transfer window will be the German club's last chance to sell the player, who is valued at 27 million euros. The midfielder has 2 goals and 1 assist in 10 Bundesliga appearances this season. 3. Raheem Sterling  Raheem Sterling is said to be a priority signing for Xavi in January, but the club's economic difficulties have lowered the chances of arrival of the Englishman.
